    Just for the season that's in it, can anyone remember games with the portly pressie pusher in them?

    Let's get the ball rolling with.....er....hang on....

    maybe it's a p.c. thing but has Santa disappeared from games since the ninties? I remember he used to appear in a lot of old amstrad and commadore games in the 80s but hardly any more!

    e.g. he was in a Dizzy game......

    Has Chrimbo been cancelled in the industry's games worlds?

    As far as I remember all the characters dress up as Santa in Black & White if you play it at Chritsmas

    Phantasy Star Online got a great Christmas makeover online during the festive season when it first came out. There was the pretty poor Daze Before Christmas on the SNES, Robocod's already been mentioned.

    If I remember right in Ready to Rumble 2 on the Dreamcast, if you set the date to Christmas Day, you could box against Santa!!!

    Think Santa was in Soviet Strike on PS1. If you blew up one of the buildings on the first level he was inside

    oh.. and I just remembered that in the RTS game Dark Reign on the PC... I used to love that game, but they would release new combat units on the internet every now and then.. and at christmas they released a Santa infantry unit that was pretty cool...

    Yeah some games have various easter eggs linked to the internal calender when it is set to dec 25th, in one of the madden NFL games the players helmets were replaced with santa hats, in tiger woods golf you won a santa costume if you won the event on christmas day
